We've had some big changes in our home. Most of you know we had a baby boy a few months ago, but you might not know that my husband has now joined the How to Glow team and is officially all-in with me on this business. Work wife=life wife for us. 🙂

It's a dream come true AND a major adjustment. For the last 13 years, he's been both the primary breadwinner and the busy guy. I loved having a looser, more flexible schedule. But we also knew that we'd never have the impact with How to Glow that we dream of if it's always kept on the back burner. Our five year plan was to bring him on board and grow the company. Hashem had another plan--and when his team was cut at his company, we grabbed the chance.

One of the biggest adjustments for me has been with our time. Between navigating our new baby, transitioning out of maternity leave, and both of us being home and working, I keep catching myself tripping up on my manuals and expectations built over the last 13 years for who is SUPPOSED TO do what and what a day is SUPPOSED TO look like. Over and over again, I'm finding expectations and throwing them out, re-thinking everything about how a day should look, how a marriage should look, and how a home should look.

But you know me and I love structure, so on the podcast this week I'm focusing on the five stumbling blocks that I and my clients struggle with in creating a dream schedule. Let me know if you identify with any of these:

1. When you make your list you already assume you can't get the "good stuff" in, so you don't even try

2. Making your list or schedule from a place of tension and stress, as if you can shove it all in and get it done

3. Not being willing to make decisions, avoiding the list-making altogether and hoping it'll "just work out"

4. Giving up on your system the moment it doesn't go perfectly

5. Assuming you have to do "All the Things" to keep your husband happy--even if they mean you end up NOT happy

Any others that I missed?

Looking forward to getting back to basics with you all. More next week.

xo,

Kayla
